Bin not emptied? Maybe it’s an access problem

We know one of the biggest issues for us all in Wrexham is whether or not our bin and recyclables get collected on time.

For the vast majority of us it happens every week without a hitch but sometimes – and occasionally for more than a week or two we come home to find our bin or recyclables or possibly both have not been taken.

Why is this? Well sometimes it’s because the bins weren’t out on time or the recyclables aren’t correctly sorted but now and again, it is because of “access” problems.

This is when the bin wagons – and remember they’re pretty big and heavy, cannot safely get down a road without causing damage to parked vehicles.

Quite often this because the vehicles are parked without due regard to other road users, particularly the bin wagons. so please take care about where you park on bin day and, if possible, make sure your neighbours are aware that they may be stopping the whole street from being collected.

Our crews want to do their job thoroughly but they have to do it safely and without harm to anyone or anything so please try and make it as easy as possible for them to get down your street.
